George Whitten is the founder and CEO of Worthy News, an international Christian news agency that has reported from a biblical worldview since 1999. For more than twenty-five years, he has served in full-time ministry as a pastor, Bible teacher, writer, and encourager, helping believers discern the times and stand firmly on the truth of God’s Word.

George and his wife, Baht Rivka, a native Israeli worship leader and recording artist, have lived in Israel for more than two decades, where they raised their family and ministered throughout the Land. Their years in Israel have given George a unique perspective on the Hebraic foundations of Scripture, the restoration of Israel, the message of the Kingdom, and the believer’s identity in Yeshua (Jesus).

Through his Worthy Brief (worthybrief.com) and daily devotion, George has encouraged hundreds of thousands of readers around the world with biblical insight, timely commentary, and practical encouragement for daily living. His passion is to see believers fully established in their identity in Messiah, walking in intimacy with the Father, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and living as faithful ambassadors of the Kingdom of God.

George and Baht Rivka continue to minister together internationally through teaching, worship, and encouragement, equipping believers to live boldly for Yeshua and to fulfill His purposes in this generation.
